down the drain

the rain began to fall rolling down her cheeks salty and a twinge of sweet. 

lavish on her tongue the bitter taste of rust will remain.

washing her down the drain of this uncleaned shower she sobs in.

If you could make this into a longer poem I would greatly appreciate it cause this is fire!!!! It really describes how I feel and how I view our generation. I love the line about rust, cause tears feel like they encase your mouth in a salty yet warm crust, it paralyzes your face and traps your eyes in a lower movement just like tetanus.
